Advanced Crosstabulation Analysis/Banner tables

At Elite Research, our statistical consultants can assist with your crosstabulation analysis, including the various possible outcomes of your data (if your data deals with multiple variables). Our consultants are also experienced in banner tables, so they can help you interpret and best represent two-way tables. We strive not only to present you with accurate results but also to ensure that you understand the analytic techniques utilized to obtain your results. If you are having trouble with your multivariate analyses for nonprofit research, then call Elite Research today!

Advanced Modeling/SEM

Whether you need assistance in factor analysis, path analysis, or regression analysis, the statistical consultants at Elite Research are experienced and skilled in whatever Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) troubles you may confront. Even though SEM is a broad topic that may be difficult for non-statisticians to understand, our statisticians present statistical information and analyses to you in such a way that you can clearly understand the processes that were used. Please call Elite Research if you find yourself in trouble with SEM.

Behavioral Prediction Analysis

Our PhD-level consultants are well equipped to handle your nonprofit statistical needs because our consultants are experienced in dealing with many types of analyses, from basic descriptive analyses to logistic regressions to behavioral prediction analyses. Contact Elite Research today so that we can assist you not only with interpreting and analyzing your data but also with presenting the information in a way that you will understand.

Cluster and Factor Analysis

At Elite Research, our experienced consultants can help you with cluster and factor analyses in many ways, including the following: discovering links, arrangements, connections, and organizations among data; transforming statistical data into linear combinations of independent variables; and exploring groups and clusters that your data may reveal. We always explain your research findings in plain, everyday language that non-statisticians can understand, so contact the consultants at Elite Research for your nonprofit statistical needs.

Grant Proposals

Whether you are having trouble with writer’s block or are just struggling to get started on your proposal, our experienced consultants and editors at Elite Research can help you in a number of ways. Our PhD-level consultants are experienced in developing grant proposals to secure research funds. We have helped both students and faculty members in the nonprofit community; bring us your grant proposal, and we will help you with your research through consultations, statistics, editing, and more.

Power Analysis/Sample Size

Before you begin researching and collecting your data, contact Elite Research, and we can help you use power analysis to determine the appropriate sample size for your research. As with all our services at Elite Research, we not only help you calculate your appropriate sample size but also ensure that you understand the methods that were used to do so. Contact Elite Research today, and we will become your new partners in using power analysis to determine sample size.

Program Evaluation

Our consultants work with you to design and implement the needs assessments for your program, to determine the cost-benefit ratio of your program, and to use your program’s logic model to design surveys and to guide data analysis. We can assess your program using goals-based, process-based, and outcomes-based evaluations. Some nonprofit program evaluations may be intimidating, but we explain everything to you so that you understand each part of the process. Contact Elite Research today, and find out how we can help you with your program evaluation!

We can help you not only choose the most appropriate design for your research but also ensure that all elements of your research design follow any protocols that your nonprofit institution has required of you. Contact Elite Research today, and let us help you with your research design.
